KITTY'S FLIGHT And the News that Mrs. Sharp: Received. Why Mr. Flad is Not Inclined to Take Much Interest in tho Fate of His Six teon Year Old Dauchter. Conrad Flad is a well to do real estate owner residing at the cornor of Pacific street and Boorum placo.

Ho haa a 10 year old daughter namod Kitty, who was employed in ono of the Fulton Btreet dry goods stores. Robert R. Sharps was also employed thero as floor walker. He lived with his wlfo and two children at 137 Bergen atreot. Laat Saturday ho took a position as traveling salesman for a New Y'ork Arm.

Ho is 33 years old. Lato Sunday ovouiug lie kissed his wife and children good by aud started out ostensibly on his Drst trip. Tho Bamo afternoon Kitty Flad disappeared. Late ou Monday Mr. Flad received a letter from his missing daughter stating she had boen married to Mr.

Sharpe In Philadelphia. IIo could not understand why his daughter should run away to get married, lie made somo inquirlea and learned that Sharpe already had a wife and children at 137 Borgon street. IIo called at the house, saw Mra. Stiarpo awl showed hor tho letter he had received from Kitty. Tho uow3 shocked tho unsuspecting wife.

Sho iu f'jrmod Mr. Flad that Mr. Sharpo had been her husband for tan years and that they had always lived happily together, and added that she would pursue him aud punish him for his perfidy. Mr. Flad went nway sorely troubled about his daughter, no Anally docided that if sho had run away with a married man, knowing him to bo such, ho did uot want to see her again.

In any ovont ho concluded to await developments. Yesterday Mrs. Sharpo visited General Isaac S. Catlin and wanted to eugago hi? sorvioos In bringing a suit for divorce. General Catlin heard her statement and to day told to an Eaolb reporter that ho had done nothing ao far savo to write a letter to Mr.

Flad making somo preliminary luquiries. As yet bo had not begun any proceediuga. If Sharpo had really marrlod tho eirl he waa guilty of bigamy uud if tho girl know ho waa a married man, she was oqually guilty. As he did not as yet know much about iho case tho general waa disinclined to talk freoly. Sharpo Is said to have married his first wife years ago when quito a young man in the intorior of tho Slate and to have subsequently become fascinated with another woman.

A prosecution for bigamy is allegod to have followod with conviction and sentence as tho result. How or whoro ho mot tho present Mrs. Sharpo doos not appoar, but ihe first wlfo died and subsequently he married tho lady with whom ho has llvod for the past ten Through hor exertions a pardon is said lo havo beon secured, rolioving him from the further consequence of his bigamous offeuao. Some of Sharpe's friends reported yesterday that ha had not eloped with anybody, and that ho had beon hoard from at Pittston, Pa. Mies Flad Ib said to bo a vivacious girl, tall and looking older than her years.

She Is aaid to havo boon told that Sharpo was a married man, and her fellow employes thluk sho know tho fact. Sharpo is spokou of as being a capable bnsi lioaa man who atood well with Ids eniployors. Mr. Flad is taking no steps te recovor his daughtor. HONEY MARKET.

Terf Few Chaniroa 'Anticipated ill tliti Vavioua The now heads of oity departments entered upon thoir second day quietly and continued tho work of looking over tlielr respective forces with the Tlew ot ascertaining where changes might be advisable.

Tho departments are tilled almost entirely by Democrats and general removals are not to be expected. Thero will be somo changes, however, withla the enaulug thlny days, and other things bolng equal tho preference will always bo given to Democrats. It is considered settled that Mr. James A. Murtha will remain aa Deputy City Worka Commissioner, and Commissioner Adams will find him on excollent assistant.

Mr. Murtha has mado it hla bualuess lo become thoroughly acquainted with the affairs of the department aud enjoys tho confidence not only of his ctiiof, but also of city efflclols generally. Fire Commissioner Kuuii says that ha will make no changes iu hia ofilce. Tax Collector Swan haa not decided upon any aa yot, and what Rogistrar of Arrears McGuIre intends to do further is not yet kuown. He was not at his office when a reporter callod there to day.

Presidont Vllson, of tho Department of Assessment, was on hand as usual. IIo said that ho had not yot decided to disturb hla force. Three of tho now Civil Sorvico Commissioners, Rev. Dr. Hall, Edward M.

Shepard and Thomas J. Tllney, hare sworn in. Thoy did this late yesterday afternoon In tho City Clork'a office. They discovered that under the amended regulations the Commission could not act until aftor Fobruary 6. They had some informal talk and Dr.

Hall surprised his associates by Informing thom that this waa not the first office ho had hold, as bo was once a keeper in an asylum at tho South. Ho Is full of anecdote and humor, aud his story was an Interesting ono. Tho Commission will not probably have much to do in tho way of examinations tor a few months. A RICH CHURCH. Will It Join Hands With a Poor Oae 1 The Adherents and Foes of Ex Pastor Milieu Will Measure Sword Agnin To night.

At 8 o'clock Ibis evening the members of the Washington stroet M. E. Church, which rocoiitly passod through such troubled waters lu connection with tho trial of Pastor Millen, will assomblo in tho oldediflco and discuss a matter of vital Interest the question of whether or uo they will consolidate with tho Johnson street church. Innocent as tho call for the mootlug looks, it signifies that a struggle, and a highly interesting struggle at that, ia on hand tor the control of tho affairs and ihe proporty of Washington stroet M. E.

Church an 1 that tho old fight of tho itos and anti Mllleniles will begiu over again amid such complicated and chaotic conditions as renders It impossible for tho vory shrewdest man in tho congregation to soo what tho outcomo will be. Hitnorto whenever tho consolidation has beon discussed, a atroug party within tho Washington etreot Church has resisted it on financial grounds. Tho Washington atreot Church Is rich, tho Johnson etreot Church i3 poor nud Divos has occasionally no uso for Lazarus ovon amoug churches. Tho property of tho Washington street Church is valued at J1D0.000. It is mortgaged for ouly $15,000 and la therefore wortli $135,000 net.

Tho property of the Johnson street Methodist Episcopal Churoh is worth $15,000 and mortgaged for and therein lios a gravo distinction and a yawning chasm. But the auti Millonltes now aapiro to cou trol ihedirectlon of tho afl ura ot the church, and it is necessary for their oppononts to do something to koop or gain the aacnudancy and tho control of valuable church property. The great infusion of new voting power which Would como from tho consolidation would glvo thom a fluo cliauco to gain now adherents. Such aro tho tho more or less charitable concluaiona of church mombora who are strongly opposed to tho consolidation and who form a strong conservative body. Tho members of tho respective parties aa now divided on tho subject of consolidation are not kuowu, but are believed to be about equally balanced.

Messrs. lleilly and Mullen proceeded piaci Ily to a onlton near the City Hall, and elhowing thcis way through tho host of dress suits gathered in (rout of the bar descended Hie stairway into iho basement, where aro tho bowling alley and lavatories. There Has quite a crowd in the basement, and there was one particularly Jolly group, standing up almost in front of ono ol tho lavatories. Ono mwiilor of the little party was Headquarters Detective Corr in a business suit of clothes and a derby hat.

Another membor wp.a a good looking, hoary pel young mau, nicely dreised and apparently about a years of ago Tho third person in the group was a large, fluo lsotlng woman, elegantly dressed. Her face was flushed and sho seemed to bo thoroughly enjoyiug horselt, despite hor decidedly incongruous and suggestive surroundings. Sho had Just come from the ball and her largo eyes sparkled ii'itli pleasure and excitement. Tho woman was Mrs. Herrick, who lives at present at 101 Prince street, and who ca mo into notoriety during the Summer of 1BS0 in connection with the fatal shooting of her second husband, Albert K.

Herrick, by iho son of her first husband. Tho trago.iv oecurod on ono afternoon whilo Mrs. Herrick was in tho country. Youug Armstrong escaped and is now In Jail in Australia on a charge of burglary. Mrs.

Herrick was opening at a generous rato and the detective and his fat yoang companion were soeiug to it that tho costly fluid did not run to waslo. In order to got past Mrs. Herrick Messrs. lleilly and Mullen fouud it nocessary to almost push her aside. Mr.

Kellly rocoguizod the woman and ho Bald to Detective Corr: "This is no place for a woman. She ought not to bo down hero." Tho detective said, in reply: "Oh, that's all right. ain't doing auy harm. She's only enjoying herself. Thai's all right." Tho fat youug mau flow Into a passion at what ho considered to bo an insult to his fair companion and hostess, lie sworo and grabbed an empty charapagno bottlo, nnd before lleilly could pui up his arms to defend hlmsolf tho young man had struck him two stunning blows, ouo on top ofHthe hoad and tho gotber on tho sido of tho faco.

Tho first blow broke tho bottle, and when the second blow was struck iho Jagged glass tore a piece out of the edge of tho loft car as big a a sllTer half dollar. Like a flash Reilly, who Is an. athlstlc person, struck tho young ma a full lu the face with tho clenched fist, felling him to the floor. Tho woman oponcd her mouth to scream, tho detective opeuod his mouth to expostulate, but before tho yoll and tho expostulation could find utterance tho young man had sprang to his feet and dashed along the passage, up the stairway, out of the saloon and vaulshod as rapidly as though Beelzebub was at his heols. Mullen dashed out aftor him.

Blood streamed from Kelliy'a wounds and trickled down his shirt bosom and his dress suit, quickly converting him into a ghastly spectacle. Tho white aproned waiter was Reared almost out of his wits aud left Jleilly to fool his way upstairs alone, his oyes blindod by blood. Iu somo mysterious way Do tcciive Corr disappeared. Ilis figure disaolvod from vloT7 as miraculously as though tho oarih had oponod up and awallowod him. Nobody saw him go upstairs, nobody could find him downstairs and he was not iu the dumb waltor, although tho badly frightened waiter looked into il with ouly a vaguo knowledge of what he was doiug.

When ltellly appeared at the hoad of tho stairway and began to grope his way across tho inlaid floor tho crowd of people in tho bar room started back aghast aud tho aloft proprietor, who was present, jumped at him the instant he saw him, whispered a word or so and quietly led him, almost husllod him, out of the snloon and across to Kltchon's Pharmacy, where he was placed iu a chair in the Jiltle baokonico. Mullen Hhowed up la a few moments, aud he and tho drug clorfc squabbled over the question as to who should send for a physician. As a consequence Dr. Cruikshank, of Jay stroet, and Dr. Undridge, of Cumberland streol, were summoned.

Dr. Lludrldce got there first, and he flsod tho cuts aa well aa he could. Dr. Cruikshank, who had pulled himself reluctantly out of a warm bed, re trentod at once, without even opening his case of instruments. Policeman Parsons, of the Central OBico squad, with the number 444 on his cap, camo running into tho drug store to see what tho row was about.

Ho accompanied Mullen and Koilly to tho Adams street police station and tho sergeant lu charge took a brief statement of what had occurred. Then everybody scattored, Reilly and his friond Mullou returning to 250 Gold street by a circuitous routo. lleilly was seen thia morning. His ear was badly disfigured and thore was a patch on his scalp. He was disgusted because a part of his ear was gone, lie was angry because ho had not slugged his rb eallant into a repentont and quiescent condition, and he waa disappointed bucnuso tho fat young man had not been arrested and becau3o the row hnd been made public.

He said that tho young man had boon arreated, but had been discharged, on tho pleadings of the saloon keeper and through tho InQuonce of tho detective IIo felt particularly bitter toward Corr for having permitted such au lu cldont to occur. He said ho intended to go and see Justice Walsh and find out what redress ho could got. lie rofused to givo his name and did not want anything published. Tho aorgoant inchargo of the Adams strcot Police Station this morning looked the blotter over carefully three llmos, nnd said that thore was not a iron! oa it to indicate that a prijouor had been Drought in thore on any ciiargo since midnight last aigbt The row occurred belweou 3 A.

General Tracy's Plea in Behalf of tli Accused Policeinau Judgro Sloore i)e nies a Motion to Dismiss. When tho Court of Sessions adjourned yeS torday afternoon Ofllcer Cassius Stoveus, whose) trial for killing John Bernard Mulligan waa begun on Monday, was on tho stand.

Ho testltled thatoa tho afternoon of Juno 1 ho had chused Mulligan for playing bail on the street. At 4 o'clock that nfceruoan he again found blM asleop ou somo beer hogs. lie rubbed his ears to rouse him, and failing iu that ho tapped him on tha soles of ids feet with his club. Mnlligin then grasped Stevens by tiie collar and toro it and trlofl to bile him. The ofllcerstruck him with bis club.

Assistant District Attorney Shorter subjected! Stoveus to a severe cross examination, during which ho elicited the fact that tho policeman was separated from Ins wife, aud that ho throw away his blood stained glovos immediately after tho assault. Coneral Tracv, counsel for Stevens, then asked Judgo Moore to direct the jury to bring lu a verdict of acquittal. I assume, tor tho purposes of this motion," said Goneral Tracy, mat stovons must bo convicied of niHnslaughter, If courh iod at all. I ask that the Jury bo instructed to acquit him on tho ground that tho evidence is iiisiifllcient to prove manslaughter. In all of murder or of manslaughter thore must he proof of killing.

Thoro can ba no conviction of manslaughter unless it is proved that the accused indicted a mortal wound. Tho tosiimouy i'i thia caso does not ahow that. It donnni'trates Iho very reverse that the wounds hifiivtod were not to cause death. The pr.v.f is that Mulligan waa taken to the Jail and there, becauso of infection or contagion, he contracted erysipelas, which caused hia iienth. I a'k' that you direct tha Jury to acquit as a matter of right, because the vounOs wore not tho direct or approximate cauao of doath.

If 1 scratch a matt wilh a pin, and he la nftorward taken to a place where lie contracts erysipelas, surely I would not be put ou trial for manslaughter." Judge Mooro said, "Without intending to pass on tho force of tho argument or to express au opinion, I nm constrained to deny tho motion." General Tracy'thoroupon began his summing up of tho caso, which will be giveu to the Jury this afternoon. DASGEISOUS FOOD The Fraudulent Use of Alum and Ijimo in Cheap Raiting Powders. If consumers prefer to buy an adulterated article of food becmso it can lie at a lo price, they undoubtedly haro ttie right to do sn, provided the adulterants r.r: not of a character injurious to iKMil'ii. If such articles are not falsely sold as p'lr and cnst'iiner is not doreived as to their real transaction is uot illegitimate. But the great danger in Hie traffic adulterate food arises from the deception that is practiced by manufacturers usually classing such gn ids a pure.

This is almost invariably done whon t'le adulterant ia one that Is ln jurijus to health. For instance, man iiacturors of alnm and lime baking po Tders uot only fail to inform tha public of tho real cliaracter of their goods, but carefully conceal the fact ttiat they are made from these poisonous articles. Most of these manufacturers also claim that their artielos are pnre and whilo mio go still further and proclaim botdlr that tiiey ire cream of tartar goods, ororen the genuine Royal Baking Ponder itsolf. No consumer will buy sl.im baking puvrdsrs knowingly, for it is well understood that they ar.i detrimental ta health. The sale of lime and alum baking powders ss pure and wholesomo articles ia, therefore, criminal, and it is satisfactory to notico that several persons engaged ia such sale bare already been brought to justice in tho courts.

The official analysts have recontly boen active in the pursuit of these ctisli' nest articles. The baking powders or sjvoral States have been carefully and critically exam, ined. The officials aro surprised at tho large amount of lime and alum goods found. It is a suggestive fact that no bakiue powder except the Roal has bei'n found without either lime or alum, and many contain both. The chief service of lime in to a td weight.

It i true that lime, when subjected tr heat, gives off a certain amount of carbonic acid gac, out a ipiick lime is loft a caustic of most powerful nai are.

This is said bf physicians to be ono of t'l i causes of indigestion, dyspepsia and those painful diteas. of the kidneys now so prevalent.

Adulteration with lime is unite as much 1 1 bo dreaded as iritb almn, which has lnratoioro received ttio most emphatic condemnation trim fod analysts, physicians amichcmsH for tbo reason that, alum may partiallv dissolved by tho heat of it is impossible to destroy nr change the nature of tho lime so that the entire amount in the baking powder passes, with all its injurious properties, into the stomach. The large prolits from tho manufacture of lime and alum baking powders has placed many of ihern in the markot, They are to be fo ind in tho stock of almost every retail dealer, and are urged upon customers calling for bakinff powders upon all occasions. Pure baking powders are one of the chief aids to the cook in preparing perfect and wholes food. While those are lo ba obtained ol well established reputation, lite the Royal, of whose purity there never been question, it is proper to avoid all others. SI'UCIAI.

The New Health (fommissioner Proposes to Prosecute Dri Russell Involved Bat Not SufJeriu! frofet tho Disease. 5 Dr. Griffin, the nojs" Health Commissioner, has no sympathy for those who, through ignorance, carelessness or falao noitvea of economy. Imperil the public health by concealing cases of smallpox. Thia morniug the' new Commissioner Instructed Baldwin F.

Strauss, counsel for tho nealth Department, to bring action in court againat Michael Kornman, Christian Hambrecht and Dr. Edward ltusaell. Kornmau is a manufacturing tailor, whoae home and place of business are at 243 Moaorole Bireet, a thickly aettled part of the Sixteenth Ward. Two weeks ago last Sunday a Httlo son of Koroman died, after au illness of Beverul days. No physician had visited tho child, and it was only when tho Coroner was callod iu at the death that It waa learned that the fatal malady had been smallpox.

Dr. K. C. Baker, the sanitary inspector, was sent to invoailgate tho case, lie loarned from noighbora that two other children of tho tailor had not been aeon on the street for several days, and lhat It waa bulleved thai thoy wore also ill. Kornmau, when naked aa to the whereabouts of hiB children, said that ho had sent thom to Hobokon.

"I am going to search thia houao," said tho officer, "nnd if I do not Oml the children 1 will then Bond a man to Hobokeu." Kornman objected emphatically to the Inspector's scrutiny of his rooraa and cloaets, but the ofllcer Insisted. After searching the rooms upatalra Dr. Baker deateudod to the first floor aud thero found Christian Hambrecht, who said: "I'll tell you tho whole truth about thia matter. Korumau's children are in my rooma. Dr.

Bakor entered tho apartments and found Annlo Kornmau, 7 yoara old, aud Mary Kornman, 1 4 years of ago, suffering in well advanced stages of the disease. Both wore Immediately removed to the hospital In the well heated pe3t wagon." Dr. Edward Russoll, who atlondod J. Newhofr, at 600 DeKalb avenue, but failed to diagnoBe hla case as smallpox, will bo prosoculod for dereliction of duly In not learning the true nature of tlto timitidy and reporting it to the Health Commissioner. Tno roport that Dr.

Russoll had himself coutractod the turns out to bo untrue, aa will be seen by the following: To tlx Editor of the Brooklyn Kayle Your article in lo uignt's paper regarding the progress of smallpox iu the city does me such marked injustice, making mo also an innocent suf lerer from the disease lhat 1 mott strongly protest nud ask you to kindly extend to me your usual cau dor aud good will iu coutuilng ll by giving my statement of the case equal prominence with the original article. The facta of me caso are tneso 1 uover said it waa Botamailpox. The history of tho caso Irom I am since convinced, ulterior purposua ou the part of the ptuiout, aided Btrougly by symptoms, led to the acceptance on suffrage of the possibility of something eloe, which, however, did not prevent my giving smallpox tho bouetit of the doubt aud of bo advising the board of llealtti throe days, please note, after I was called iu, albeit tho symptoms, except those givou which 1 threw out us being perhaps altogether untrustworthy, continued ao obscure aa to defy the beat dtaguosiiciau. You will aee by the course 1 look 1 e'ompliod not only with the loiter but with the spirit of Iho requirement agreeable to all conscientious physicians iu guarding tho Health of the citizens of Brooklyn against a well dreaded ncourge, and I think a little more than both in tho way I did under tho peculiar circumstances. Now comes through your evening papor the astounding news, ai least lo me, that I ain dowu with the disoaao aud the oqually asiouuding information from the Board ot Health that li uover received my loiter.

Whether because 1 am uot of tho dominant school (politically) or not, I am thus singled out for such au attack I will not uudortako to say. It has that appearance aud I feel It bo. ause of such publicity and ao undeserved. 1 will merely add for tho benefit of any friends who may have boen noodlossly alarmed by said article that I am In my usual good health.

lleochor and had Yu Slug, a Chinese missionary, to luteriu ot for him aa ho gave his testimony. Ilis face and head wore bound iu bovou dlfrorout ways with linen bandage's and the face that peered out from tho whito framo waa not at all that of (lie desperate man he was pictured by Captain Daly whon ho hastened lo make complaint against htm for a murderous assault, so aa to precede a similar charge. The captain, Michael Daly, lookod moro llko a prosperous stock broker tathor tbau a seaman, being slim and tall with dark, well cut features sot off by a handsome mustache nnd hair of Iron gray. Ills third mate, John P. Gill, Is a man of 24, with olivo complexion, email black mustacho and dark oyes.auda natty look like a youug society man.

Ho said lie waa going to England to settle his share of an estate, but would return. Mrs.

Martin clings to him with au affection as warm as It is romarkablo, but it is hardly possible that the moat loviug hoart In the world can retain Its old time fervor till the fickle William is due again, for by the lowest compulation ho will not return nil l'J03.

Early this morning special building signal 1H8 was rung again from the Loako und Wa tie Orphan Asylum at One hundred and Tenth street, bo tween Ninth and Tenth avenues, New York.

The fire companies responod qulokly and with tho aid of tho mon servants of the asylum, euccooled in quenching Ihe blaze, after a half hour's fight.

Tho children wero iu bed at iho time, and but for tho groat presence ot mind displayed, thoro would have boon a eerious panic that would have resulted In groat loss of llfo. Aa it was, however, tho panic was slight, and the children wore taken to places of safety. The damages done to the building will probably roach 3,000.

Tho Pastor' Residence Seriously Injured and iho Conveut Iiatlly D.tuiasci by Water A Los of $17,000. Tho Village of WmfieM, half way between Hunter's Point and Flushing, had tho worst tiro iu its history this morning. Tho Roman Catholic Church of the lilossod Virgin Mary was totally destroyed.

Reduced to ashes also was the parochial school, which adjoined the church on tho south. The residence of tho pastor, the Rev. Potor Daufton tach, which stooJ on tho north sido of tho church, had a wing destroyed aud tho main building was badly damaged by lira. Tho convent of the Sisters of St. Dominic, located southeast of tho cnurch aud not far from the school, wa3 badly blistered by tho heat, but was saved from destruction.

Tho damage by water is very extensive, aud a beautiful Utile altar Is completely rulpod. To save the adjacent buildings, including tho couveut, tho church nnd chool wero allowed to burn. There was a scarcity of wut and tho tire in the church had mado such rapid headway that tho Ilames could not bo arrested. Tho Uov. Father Farrclly, of lilissville, telephoned to Brooklyn for assistance.

ICugino No. 13, stationed at Powers and Kwen streets, was sent down in charge of Assistant Foreman Rogers, thief Smith following immediately. Tho steamer waa not, howover, able to render any assistance, thore being no wator. There wero also present, besido the local department, fire companies from Woodside, Xowtowu, FUshing and Dutch Kills. Thoro ia a conflict of opinion as to how tho firo originated.

Father DauCfcnbaah said mass at 8 o'clock and the doors wero locked after tho congregation depario.l. There woro three apiroa on the building aud at 9:30 o'clock firo burst from the one over ho altar iu the east end of tho odilicp. Mrs. Thomas, who keeps the keys ami acts aa sexton when her husband is busy, hastoaod to Iho church aud found the altar In a blaze. Tho pastor thinks ho firo must have originated from the falling of a burning candlo or may bo a spark when the altar lights wore put out.

It could not havo boen causod by a defective fluo or tho furnace as there had been no fire in tho latter since Sunday. Tho sparks flow in such profusion as to eel tiro to Oakloy's Assembly lioom and a tonomtnt houso owned by Mrs. Reardon, both a block away. Tho Long Island Railroad Depot was thought lo be lu danger and a gang of men was sent out from Humor's Point by special train in charge of Conductor Riughouae, but their services were not required. The burued church was a framo structure, lOOx 40 feet.

It was built thirty years ago. Thirteen years ago it was repaired at an expense of $7,000. Tho pastor estimates the losa on tho edifice at $13, 000; tho school, $3 500. The damage to the parsonage' and furniture by Are and wator is $1, M0 and the conront Is damaged about foOO. If tho wind had boen blowing hard from tho south the entire village would have been laid in ashes.

Several persons who entered tho church early say tho firo was burning right bohiud the furnaco. Thore were 110 children in the school whou tho alarm was given. They were Just being dismissed for recess, aud not knowing oxactly whore the fire was they passed out of the building In au orderly way. The total insurance is bolioved to bo $10,000. Father Dauffcnbach could not give the nama3 of the companies holding the policies, but ho said that tho Phonis has ths largest, policy.

The factory where coffins are mado oponod a cis mm tn Knelno Xn. 13 long enough to enable it to quench the burning materials iu tho ruins of tho two buildings.
